Are you sure the disc is formatted with a filesystem that allows for 
lowercase characters?  The ISO 9660 standard is a least common 
denominator standard, which means 8+3 characters, case insensitive. 
UDF, Juliet, and RockRidge allow for different semantics, but they all 
have their quirks too (Juliet is also case insensitive, for one, and 
that's the format most versions of Windows will read, if multiple 
filesystem headers are present.  Adaptec/Roxio burning software may 
change this to UDF on install, but that's not entirely reliable).
